Kart: Difference between revisions

The Karts and newly-introduced [[Bike]]s can be divided into six classes of [[vehicle counterpart]]s based on their stats. In addition, each racer can vary the kart's custom stats with the bonus points they have for each feature and select other five karts in the determined character's size. Unlike in other games, every kart has a unique color scheme for the players using it. Unlike Bikes, Karts cannot perform wheelies. However, they can release a more powerful boost by drifting than a bike, depending how long the respective button is pressed. Compared to bikes, karts generally offer superior speed and weight in exchange for being weaker in every other stat. Additionally, bikes have six [[trick]] variants while karts only have three.

Karts return in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', with the Standard Karts having a similar design to their appearance from ''Mario Kart DS''. Karts now deploy [[glider]]s if a character is propelled in the air from a high place to help them glide, and when underwater, a [[propeller]] appears at the back to help push the kart along. Players are able to customize their karts as well by selecting different [[tire]]s and gliders.

|''The famous racing karts from the ever-popular Mario Kart racing series come loaded for speed with three different engine sizes: 50, 100, and 150 cc. The karts' handling differs with the characters driving them, but all of them utilize Mario Kart standards like drift, jump, and turbo. They're extremely durable and impossible to total.''

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Stuart from the ''Despicable Me'' and ''Minions'' series uses a kart in the [[Illumination]] logo prior to the opening. When [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] arrive at the [[Donkey Kong Island|Jungle Kingdom]], the [[Kong]] that greets them brings them to [[Cranky Kong]] on a kart. When it goes off a ramp, it opens its glider. After Cranky Kong suggests using karts to return to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], the group go to the [[kart workshop]] to build their own vehicles. Mario builds a kart resembling the [[Standard Kart M]] and [[Pipe Frame]] while Toad builds a kart resembling the [[Tiny Titan]]. The group are joined by [[Donkey Kong]], Cranky Kong, and the [[Great Kong Army]] on their own karts to drive down the [[secret passage]] and [[Rainbow Road]]. While the group drive down Rainbow Road, the [[Koopa Troop]] ambush them with their own karts. Some resemble the [[Bullet Bike]] with [[Banzai Bill]] faces, while others are equipped with cannons that fire [[Green Shell]]s and [[Bullet Bill]]s. The karts built by the Kong Army are powered by [[banana]] juice, while the karts built by the Koopa Troop are powered by [[lava]].<ref>rawmeatcowboy (June 5, 2023).
